Whether you’re a club veteran, mobile entertainer, karaoke host, or just starting
your DJ journey, your toolkit can make or break your performance. Today’s top
DJs aren’t just defined by their talent—they’re defined by the tools they choose. If
you’re ready to level up, look no further than this powerful trio: DEX 4, TIDAL, and
TuneMyMusic.
Together, these tools deliver everything a modern DJ needs to succeed—powerful
performance software, access to one of the world’s largest streaming music
libraries, and seamless playlist transfer technology that bridges streaming
platforms. Let’s dive into why this trio is quickly becoming the go-to setup for
serious DJs.
DEX 4: The Most Advanced Version Yet
The new DEX 4 from PCDJ is a true powerhouse. It builds on the solid foundation
of DEX 3 but introduces a brand-new audio engine and countless enhancements
that truly set it apart. DJs now have more control, more features, and more ways
to unleash their creativity behind the decks.
Key Benefits of DEX 4:
- • All-New Audio Engine: DEX 4 offers ultra-high-fidelity sound quality thanks to its updated audio engine powered by zplane’s Elastique. This means tighter loops, cleaner transitions, and studio-level time-stretching and pitch-shifting.
- • Quantization + Snap-to-Beat Mixing: Cue points, loops, effects, and beat jumps stay perfectly aligned with the music—making seamless transitions easier, even in fast-paced environments.
- • True SLIP Mode: Scratch, loop, or reverse audio without interrupting the underlying playback position. When you exit the effect, the track picks up where it would have been. It’s a pro-level feature that makes DEX 4 ideal for technical DJ sets.
- • Loop Rolls + Manual Loops: Loop Rolls are now the default behavior. DJs can manually adjust the loop in/out points or shift loops using jog wheels. Whether you’re remixing live or building tension on the dance floor, loops are smarter and more flexible than ever.
- • Slicer & Slicer Loop Modes: Chop up your tracks in real-time to create rhythmic mashups. Fully quantized for clean slices that match the tempo.
- • Pitch Play & Beat Jump: Shift pitch and jump beats to remix tracks on the fly or stay in sync during transitions.
- • AIUnmixEQ™: Isolate and manipulate stems (vocals, instruments, drums) live. Want to remove the vocals from a track mid-set? DEX 4 makes it easy.
- • Real Turntable Effects: Add motor start/stop behavior with adjustable times for realistic vinyl-style pauses and spin-ups.
- • Fuzzy Key Matching: Perfect for harmonic mixing—DEX 4 will match tracks in compatible keys with minimal pitch adjustment, keeping your transitions musical and smooth.
- • Controller Integration: Full compatibility with the RANE FOUR and many other industry-standard controllers, giving you tactile control over your mix.
- • Video + Karaoke Support: Not just for DJs. Whether you’re spinning videos or hosting karaoke nights, DEX 4 handles it all with professional polish.
DEX 4 is more than an upgrade—it’s a leap forward. If you’re already using older DJ software, this is your sign to move on. If you’re brand new, there’s no better time to start.
Now that we have the crucial part of mixing your DJ sets, it’s time to know where you will get your tracks. For that, you will need the best music library available, with a wide variety of music genres and tracks with HiFi technology at the tip of your finger. For that, we recommend Tidal, which is another important part of your ultimate DJ toolkit.

Why Use TuneMyMusic?
DJs often build years of playlists on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, or YouTube Music.
